Snapped a fingernail.
It’s James Brown’s fault.
And Mark and Lard Radcliffe and Maconie on Radio 2.
At 21.45 they played ‘This is a man’s, man’s, man’s world‘ by James Brown.
One of the greatest, softest, bluesiest, soulest records ever.
So I jumped out of bed, grabbed my guitar and joined in.
Got the arpeggio section perfect – that’s the bit that goes:
Dum di dum di dum, dum di dum di dum, dum di dum di dum, dum di dum di dum…
Except I tore off a fingernail going for an open chord.
Bugger.
Bloody James Brown.
